I downloaded this product based on some positive reviews and sorely regret it. I used the Auto Clean option and shortly afterward noticed the sound on my computer was gone. Unfortunately, my choice was to reboot my computer and I was unable to restart it, despite many tries--Windows tried to run it's repair and it didn't work because obviously the registry was damaged. I ended up having to reinstall my system and lost all my programs, email, everything. I was foolish not to have backed up. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, so strongly urge anyone using this system not to try this software.

I think you should take more can and read what is supported before you blindly use a program, select AUTO and just run it.RegSeeker is not desinged for Windows 7, it is for 98/2000/XP registry systems. Do not downrate a program because of your own gross ignorance.

It found a lot of errors, more so than other applications. I was afraid to delete them, but I had a backup. So I ran the risk....so far no problems...it has been a week and a half since I installed it.And it is very small in size.

Cons

A better user interphase would help.If you access the Tweaks section and check the option "Remove arrow on shortcuts"a window with a message in French appears. And the app will not remove the arrow.

I've used ccleaner for years - it's simple enough for my clients and I've never had it delete anything damaging. I was nervous when regcleaner found hundreds of entries that ccleaner had left behind - but two reboots and no problems so far

Cons

Not immediately clear what the difference between red and green lines is...

Summary

Good - thorough. More intimidating for beginners than the cleaner available in Ccleaner

Green is safe to delete. They are non-existent links or broken links. Never remove the unused links since low usage does not mean you will never use them. Some programs are not used much but you use them occasionally. Deleting the links can render the programs unusable & you will have to re-install them again. Best not to delete the red results unless you are an expert & know what you are doing.

I have used the clean and search functions of this program. The search function seems to be pretty good - it locates what you search for.The clean function is the main component I use.

Cons

No complaints

Summary

Overall, I think this program is great for being free. It's probably not the best but it's better than most registry tools compared to those packaged with cCleaner, Glary Utilities, Iobit Security, nCleaner, etc.

I still have 13 entries from Computer Associates and PKZip that can not be removed from my registry. Havn't found any program that will remove them. Also I never could make a backup, kept getting the error message "Incorrect file name"

Summary

Day to day cleanup works well, but no better than CCleaner or EasyCleaner or PCTools.
